"Playing inThe Band"

well my friends i did it ....casey and i went to a concert last night to see phil lesh (grateful dead fame) and friends....the seen (inside joke on the spelling) was exactly as i expected it to be......lots of love in the air and smiles on the faces.....hippies young and old dancing to the music ..you give a hippie a flat surface and that's what you get....dancing...even i was able to shake my bladder a little.......not a bad vibe in the place except a security guard who told casey to stand behind the line to dance and she said "hey i am with my pops and he's sitting right here"..ya gotta love her she takes no crap from anyone...even me........it was during the show when joan asboure was singing "Sugaree" and trey from phish was playing with rob and phil and i look out over the water that i realized how lucky i was to be there......it was an amazing moment for me.....it reminded me of that saying that was passed on to me..."life is not measured in how many breaths we take...but what takes our breath away"......my friends i was breathless last night and not just from the dancing............so let's do the math.......$150.00 for two tickets......$100.00 for some grateful dead blankets from little hippie.....gas to the show...$20.00.....dancing with my daughter....priceless...............able to tell all of you about it....breathless .........peace out .....tom...
